Red stood up and went to the kitchen to try and calm himself down. Ever since Chris had to him what had happened, Red had felt an anger burning inside of him. Jovie was in danger. The girl who had saved him from eternal darkness. He would risk his own life just to have her safe in his arms. In a fit of anger he lashed out, punching a wall in the process. His fist had made a huge dent in the brick work. He pulled his hand away and shook it in a vain attempt to stop the throbbing in his hand. Matt poked his head around the corner to see what was wrong.

"Are you OK, Red?" he enquired. He looked at the demon, who was breathing deeply, then to his clenched fist. There was blood dripping from Red's knuckles onto the floor and a dent in the wall. "Stupid question... Um... I'll find the First Aid kit..."

"Sure..." Red muttered, as Matt left the kitchen. Red sighed once more and turned the kettle on. Whilst it was boiling, he sat down and tried to think of where his Jovie would go to. If she wasn't here then Red was sure she wouldn't try anywhere else that was local. He dug his mobile out of his pocket and dialed her number again. Still nothing. Red hung up and looked out of the window.

"Jovie, where are you?"

***

Somewhere underneath London

"What do you mean you couldn't find the girl?"

"Sh...She wasn't there, Master... She must've got out through the window..." a vampire, called David Smith, stammered. His Master, Seth Edwards, was calm. Too calm. He stood up to face the trembling vampire.

"But the parents are dead?" David nodded. "Good... Just find the girl, and succeed this time. If you don't, you know the consequences. Now get out of my sight!!"

And with that David Smith scurried away. Seth smirked.

"Soon, Jovie Myles, you will be they way you should have been from the start..."

"There... You shouldn't have punched that wall..." Matt said, after he'd finished bandaging up Red's hand.

"I know... It was stupid. I just felt so angry. Angry at those vampire bastards..." He lowered his voice. "Angry at myself..."

Matt frowned.

"Why?"

"I offered to pick her up from college and she declined. I should've persisted... I should've sensed something was wrong...ARGH! I just feel so stupid!" Red shouted, hitting the table with the hand Matt had just sorted out. Red winced.

"Is everything OK in there?" Gene said from the other room.

"Yeah! Everything's fine... Don't worry, Guv!" Matt replied.

"We need to find her..."

"I know... Me and the others, we're on the case. We'll do everything we can t-"

"-I'm helping" Red said, starting blankly at his coffee mug.

"What do you mean?"

"You know I'm a demon and you know what I can do. I can and will help... You can't change my mind" Red looked up at the vampire with a look of warning in his eyes.

"Fine...But I'll have to check with the Guv..."
